Butterfinger Cookies

Teresa’s Bake Shop – Christmas Cookie Extravaganza – 2013

Oh, my, Butterfinger Cookies. How do I describe this amazing cookie as anything other than heavenly??!! I LOVED these tasty cookies, and as you can see, we made them for this year’s Christmas Cookie Extravaganza, so all our grateful recipients will get a chance to enjoy these wonderful cookies, too. This lovely brown sugar and crunchy peanut butter cookie is filled with lots of chopped Butterfinger bars giving these cookies an incredible chocolate and peanut butter combination that’s quite addictive.

I found this recipe in a Taste of HomeUltimate Cookie Collection cookbook a few years ago, and finally got around to making it. I made several adjustments to the recipe and felt like it turned out fantastic. This cookie has great texture–crunch on the outside, chewy on the inside, lots of peanut butter and chocolate flavor, and a little more crunch on the inside from the chopped Butterfinger bars. Yum, yum, yum!

If you’re looking for a sensational cookie for holiday baking or one you can cook any time of the year, than give Butterfinger Cookies a try. You’ll be hard pressed to eat only one, and you’ll be lucky if your family shares any with you! 🙂

Butterfinger Cookies are sensational. If you take these goodies to office parties you’ll come back empty handed!

If you love peanut butter and chocolate these cookies have both.

Don’t Butterfinger Cookies look scrumptious? These cookies have really great texture. They puff up nicely while baking and don’t flatten out too much.

Here’s what I did.

In a large mixing bowl add softened butter, eggs, brown sugar and granulated sugar. I made six batches of this recipe so don’t be overwhelmed by how much is in the bowl.

I’m so sorry Betty, yours didn’t turn out right. I didn’t have any problem with mine. I recommend two things: Flatten the cookies slightly with your hands before baking, and #2, Decrease the flour by about 1/4 cup. I hope they turn out better the next time.
